Shipping out a pile of them today! Should be some Happy Customers
Thanks for the business! Seeing all the completed projects at the end of a batch is such a blessing, we appreciate all the repeat and new customers!
Feel free to share your builds with us on any of our social media platforms!
I’ve been talking to a few action companies about building a custom action to my specs.
I get 2-3 calls a week from folks asking what action l’d recommend for their first custom rifle build. Truth is-l usually don’t know how to answer that, because I’m just as undecided as everyone else.
Brand doesn’t mean much to me. I’m more of a function/feature and fit/finish guy.
Action Features:
60° or 75° bolt throw
Mechanical ejection (no spring-loaded plungers)
Vertical controlled round feed
Toolless bolt disassembly
Third lug orientation: Lug must point up. When it points down (like Aero’s), it removes too much material from the feed ramp-which causes long, skinny .22-cal bullets to slam into the breech
Construction Preferences:
Integrated recoil lug
Pinned scope rail with swappable MOA options (thermal hunters will appreciate this)
Headspace tight enough to support pre-fit barrels
Enlarged loading port for easy single-round top
One-piece bolt (floating heads tend to bind)
Bolt Face Sizes I Would Want Supported:
0.441″ (.22 ARC, 6mm ARC, Grendel)
0.378″ (.223 Rem)
0.473″ (6.5 Creedmoor / .308 Win)
0.532″ (.300 Win Mag)
Bolt Fluting:
If fluted, only flute the top ¾ of the bolt body in a spiral steep enough to maintain a fully round bearing surface.
Barrel Thread Preference:
If you’ve got thoughts or suggestions, I’m all ears.
Since the release of the New 25 Creedmoor. I took a minute to compile all the Factory Creedmoor Data from Hornady to compare them.
I thought it was a new fad but the numbers are pretty impressive.
(BC), Hornady muzzle velocities, drop, wind drift, and recoil in a 10-lb rifle from 100-1,000 yards.
Cartridge Specs
.22 Creedmoor: 80 gr ELD-M, BC 0.485, 3,300 fps 6mm Creedmoor: 103 gr ELD-X, BC 0.512, 2,955 fps
25 Creedmoor*: 134 gr ELD-M, BC 0.645, 2,850 fps (est.)
6.5 Creedmoor: 143 gr ELD-X, BC 0.625, 2,700 fps
*Note: 25 Creedmoor is a wildcat; velocity estimated.

Which to Choose? Up to you but the 25 creedmoor is going to be a dandy all around cartridge.
Carbon Fiber has to be the most miserable, itchy, dusty, corrosive and dirty thing to machine that exists.
Change My Mind!
Before and after the 6 hour clean up
While carbon can be and HAS BEEN a pain. You can’t argue with the sleek finished product that has the added bonus of a barrel stronger than your stainless steel counterparts.
